New YoRK, March 24.-The opinion
on the street to-day is that several
great systems ofrailways will be forced
by the Interstate commerce bill
to consolidate, and will make
such tariffs as will crush all
lesser lines. It is said that
the Pennsylvania and st. Paul sys-
TENS, practically in alliance now, will
consolidate, and that these will con-
solidate with the Northern Pacific,
giving them continental line. It is
rumored that the Vanderbilt system
will also be put under one manage
ment. It is now known that the Bal
timore & Ohio deal is the first outcome
of the Interstate bill and that the
near future will see vast systems con-
solidated.
The general opinion which the va
rious express companies have arrived
at is that they are not subject
to the Interstate commerce bill, be-
cause they are not common carriers,
but forwarders.
1t is understood that the various
exchanges and shippers of New York
are preparing for q general war against
the execution of the bill, and loud pro-
tests are being made.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 21.-The
force of men searching the ruins of the
Richmond Hotel has been increased,
and the work OF picking over the
bricks and mortar is being pushed for
ward. Late Sunday afternoon three
bodies were taken out. They have
not been identified. After week of
excitement such as this city has just
passed through, every report of fire
causes anxiety as to it's location and
extent. About 8 O'Clock last night it
was rumored that the New YORK Cen
trail car shops at East Buffalo were
burning. Later In the evening it was
learned that the Morrison Hotel or
Volk House, on Broadway, had been
destroyed, which started the rumor.
Loss about $4,000. Origin of the
fire unknown.
No more bodies had been found in
the ruins of the Richmond Hotel up
to noon to-day, when the searching
party was withdrawn, owing to the
shaky condition of the walls, which
are to be pulled down at once. The

and it's contents, including $50, 900 or
found in good shape.

whose hands we're badly burned and
who was otherwise injured, will leave

Fitch Hospital, said that Mr.. Rum
sey, OF Fort Wayne, who died from
his injuries, bore his sufferings bravely.
He never murmured and though the
doctor urged him to send g. message
to his invalid wife, he refused for fear
of shocking her.
At the general hospital the patients
are doing nicely. Edward Whalen,
who had his breast bone broken, is
still in critical condition, his brother
says. He has improved somewhat,
however, and hopes are entertained
for his recovery. Tht other wounded
